After staring blankly for a while, Six slowly regained her senses. But she couldn't help still feeling confused.
She silently raised her head and couldn't help but ask: "Mono... why can you travel through televisions..."
Mono shrugged:
"Do you know what a genius is? That's me. Being able to do this little trick is pretty normal, isn't it?"
"But why has Mono never told Six before..." Six continued to stare at Mono with puzzled eyes. This fact was really... beyond her expectations.
After all... Mono had always been someone who complained of being tired after just a few steps,
someone who would shout and yell when hitting someone or throwing a punch
—someone not considered strong in others' eyes.
But one day, he suddenly told her he had an Ability.
It was like a toad saying it had eaten swan meat, or a dwarf saying he had kissed a princess—who would believe such a thing?
This was an extremely absurd, unusual, unimaginable, and unforeseeable situation.
Wu Bei curled his lip and explained. "Tell you? What's there to tell? It's not some amazing thing, and besides, you wouldn't believe me anyway, so why should I tell you?"
The activation of [Wave of Intent] only happened after killing the doctor. He didn't have it before, so how could he have said anything?
But it seemed that, apart from being surprised, Six didn't seem to be thinking in any other direction.
But then again, even if his Ability was similar to Mono's, his temperament and appearance were already worlds apart.
No matter how sharp Six was, she probably couldn't connect them together.
Mono felt reassured.
"Alright, stop staring blankly. Get up!" Mono patted Six's slender waist.
Though still somewhat confused,
Six slowly sat up straight,
and climbed to her feet.
Mono stood up, looked around, and surveyed his surroundings.
After falling out of the television, they found themselves on a protruding tiled eave that served as a platform between two tall buildings.
Looking down, it appeared quite deep and gloomy.
Looking to the left and right, aside from the walls shrouded in swirling mist, there were only ropes stretched between the two buildings.
Some clothing was hanging from the ropes, looking as if it had been thrown from a great height and then caught, snapped at the waist.
Or perhaps, they were from people who had jumped, got caught on the ropes, and over time... turned to skeletons, leaving only their clothes
behind as proof they had once existed.
Mono withdrew his gaze and tried placing his hand on the television again.
The Wave of Intent was more useful than he had imagined; not only could it generate a force to distort space, but it could also sense various particles existing in the air.
Among these particles were, of course, electromagnetic waves.
This was also the reason he could travel through the pathway created by the TV signal, bringing Six along.
Seeing Mono grasp her hand again, Little Six silently widened her eyes, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Zzzzt?"
The television emitted another faint crackle of static.
Then, the next moment.
"Hiss?"
Under Little Six's watchful gaze, it started smoking...
Mono silently withdrew his hand. This time, it seemed he hadn't controlled the strength properly; before he could even search for a new signal, the television couldn't handle it.

Mono...
Little Six looked at Mono in confusion.
Mono paused for a moment: "Well, the TV got water in it. Let's go, climb up!"
Mono's expression was perfectly natural.
With such heavy rain, it was completely normal for a TV to smoke, right?
Little Six blinked, glanced at the now black-screened television, fell silent for a moment, then silently followed, treading with her bare feet.
Although she was still somewhat surprised by Mono's sudden ability to travel using televisions,
in this world, the existence of strange phenomena was not unheard of.
So, upon careful thought, such an ability wasn't entirely unacceptable.
Moreover, no matter how strange or inexplicable Mono became, one thing remained unchanged...
Mono was still... Mono...
Many iron hooks and wooden beams hung between the two buildings, so despite the pouring rain, it didn't hinder the two small figures' upward climb in the slightest.
Climbing on all fours using the slippery wooden planks for a few minutes, a gleam of light suddenly shone from not far above.
Mono's ears twitched.
A familiar crackle of static faintly reached his ears through the curtain of rain.
"Little Six, be careful.
Although Mono felt Mono probably hadn't discovered them yet and there was no need to be so tense, caution was still necessary.
Six nodded slightly, slowing her movements a bit.
With just that one sentence, she understood what he intended—he wouldn't let her act rashly until safety was confirmed...
That "annoying" guy was still as overly concerned as ever...
Soon, Mono climbed to the edge of the platform from which the static emanated. Gripping the wooden planks tightly with both hands, he cautiously peeked over. The scene on the platform came into view.
Rather than a platform, it seemed more like it had once been a room. Although two of the room's four walls had collapsed, leaving only a single pillar supporting the roof, making it somewhat desolate, surprisingly, in such a dilapidated corner, a person was actually standing there.
And, of course, an old television was set up.
The static Mono had just heard was coming from this television. The person in the corner was intently watching the corner TV, just like the woman they had seen earlier.
After confirming the situation, Mono silently climbed up.
He then turned back, grabbed Six's small hand, and pulled her up as well.
Once they were both steady, Mono was pondering how to deal with the person in front of them when his eyes caught sight of a television on the rooftop opposite their platform.
It seemed like every corner of the city center had televisions, so the appearance of one after another wasn't strange.
However, the TV opposite seemed to be exposed to the rain; it was unclear if it had been completely soaked.
Mono silently picked up the Remote and pressed it. Following a crackle of static, the telephone-like apparatus sitting in the rain opposite lit up.
Mono relaxed a little.
He preferred not to resort to force, as it was tiring and consumed a lot of energy.
"□lllLi'=t= "
Six silently nodded.
Mono, holding Little Six's hand, walked with light steps to the back of the sole pillar
to hide.
Once concealed, he extended his hand, aiming the Remote's ultraviolet emitter
directly at the person in the corner still fixated on the TV, and
pressed.
Three seconds later...
"Thud.
Thump?"
Another dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground came from downstairs.
"Let's go?"
Mono felt the Remote was becoming increasingly handy. He silently tucked it into his waistband, took Six's hand, and walked towards the television.
Placing his hand on the TV, through another transmission, their
figures directly
traveled to the rooftop opposite the platform.
